FA Cup: Barnsley 1 - 0 Chelsea
Match reports The Observer, Spencer Vignes: “And they say that lightning never strikes twice.

FA Cup: Chelsea 3 - 1 Huddersfield Town
Match reports Independent on Sunday, Ronald Atkin: “Though they duly headed back north empty-handed, Huddersfield, players and supporters alike, had the traditional grand day out in London beloved of FA Cup minnows and for a gloriously unbelievable quarter of an hour at the start of the second half, were actually holding the world’s richest team 1-1. [...]
The week at Chelsea: Cole to Newcastle (we hope) and welcoming Stephen Hunt…
It’s not often you see the world’s all-time greatest footballer loitering down at Chelsea’s training ground (Andy Myers left before we moved there, after all).

So, how was it for you? The 2006/07 season review
Did the earth move? Was the season lit with fireworks? Did Andriy Shevchenko seduce you with silky skills? Did Didier Drogba’s drive and dynamism send shivers down your spine? Did the essence of Michael Essien send you into a dreamy haze? Or did it seem like the interminable season from hell at times? Did you look [...]
FA Cup Final review: Chelsea 1 - 0 Manchester United
Match reports The Observer, Amy Lawrence: “After 116 minutes of uptight football, Chelsea delivered the FA Cup from the probability of its third consecutive penalty shoot-out. Didier Drogba, having lost out to Cristiano Ronaldo in the personal awards despite an exceptional personal campaign, stole the glory with a typically resilient example of the predator’s arts. A [...]

FA Cup review: Blackburn Rovers 1 - 2 Chelsea
Match reports The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: “The season is coming to a close yet for Chelsea it must feel as if there is an infinity of football before them.
